ok i know not many of you know me here😆.. found this article in DC daily..i was an SO lover too once (with MJHT),, i remember ranting about its shutdown..they kept saying extension and closed it left right and center.. since then i lost trust on SO..so thought should post this so that people dont get expecting etc..posting on all SO forums😳 hope its not taken negatively..
p.s. i can sympthasize with all of you..
cant find the link if anyone from hyd can plzz post it for the sake or reliability..

Launched as a youth brand in 2004, Star one lost the plot when it started becoming the me-too general entertainment channel a few years down the line.Later, the youth promise was restored but ratings did not return. A year ago, it was "refreshed" again to target female viewers in the 18-25 age group, with little result. Launguishing at the bottom of general entertainment channel pecking order and ignored for too long by Star Management. They focussed more on strengtheneing Star Plus' leadership position. Star One will soon be given an exhaustive makeover with new shows and a new identity.All its existing shows will be shut down and the channel will be relaunched as Star Desh some time in October. Obviously, its the powers-that-be intend it to be competition for the three-year old Colors!

mods can close it if posting not allowed or already posted😳

Star One started off as a shadow of Star Plus. It got it's own identity only after it started airing youth shows. Ratings will obviously be less because of poor connectivity and because it targetted the urban youth in a country where 71% of the population lives in the villages. But that is what made it a get a loyal audience who didn't have much to turn to. If someone doesn't like what is going on in Ammaji's life, they switch to Pratigya but SO's audience isn't that fickle. And now, with the emergence of SD, it may get more ratings but it'll be no different from any SP, Zee, Colours.
Anyway, thanks a lot for sharing, Sindu 🤗
